On this Independence Day Astronaut, LLC http://astronautvista.com announces the next level of freedom for Astronaut VistA: Full virtualization. All applications run in a browser.

“Nothing to install, nothing to maintain. It just works. Our #1 rated application runs in any browser.” Says Astronaut, LLC CEO Ignacio Valdes, MD, MS. “Our users are free to focus on patient care. No software installation is necessary, upgrades just happen. Total freedom. No maintenance headaches on staff, greater security, higher reliability, and faster responsiveness. This takes Astronaut VistA to the next level for all users and IT support staff. Poor local internet? No problem. Peculiar local security block? Still works.”

Astro-CPRS now simply runs through any browser with HTML5 support. Just point at a URL and login to Astro-CPRS, VistA Clinical Scheduling or Vitals. Nothing local to install. Upgrades are handled by Astronaut seamlessly.

Astronaut, LLC http://astronautvista.com has many, many firsts in the VistA world including the first VistA in the cloud, the first automated VistA installer, and now the first fully virtualized, browser-based VistA application suite.

“I’ve used a lot of EHR’s in my career. Astronaut is the first EHR I have ever used that made me faster. I leave work and it is all done. I don’t have to chart again. Each appointment is done when they walk out of the room. I can’t tell you how fantastic that is. All of the other EHR’s I have used slowed me down. This one is amazing. It actually helps me see patients faster.” Jennifer Lableu, NP

“It is still amazing to have a patient that you saw 4 years ago **inpatient** walk in to your **outpatient** office and all the information is there. No re-entering, no fumbling, no re-asking the same questions all over again. Super-efficient documentation.” Ignacio Valdes,MD, MS

Astronaut has a full set of standard Partial Hospitalization Program(PHP)/Community Mental Health Center(CMHC) templates available now.

“This is as close to turn-key as you can get. With a full set of standard PHP/CMHC templates ready to go you can get up and running with Astronaut very quickly and easily.” Says Ignacio Valdes, MD, MS. “People spend a lot of time and energy in PHP/CMHC’s moving around paper. Astronaut template driven notes keeps programs audit-ready, safer and more accurate while saving a lot of time and effort. This adds to our full set of clinically tested inpatient and outpatient note templates.”

The Astronaut team is proud to announce integrated, single sign-on appointment scheduling in CPRS! Astro–CPRS continues to make major staff and clinician efficiency gains with this release. The separate VistA Clinical Scheduling application while still useful is no longer necessary to make appointments. No more context switching or separate login necessary!

Astronaut has circulated an advanced, high efficiency CPRS screenshot. Unprecedented in VistA history, this version of CPRS demonstrates how far the technology can go.
“We’ve pushed the technology further than it has ever been before. With it we’ve seen more patients more efficiently and more accurately than ever before.” says Astronaut, LLC CEO Ignacio Valdes, MD, MS

Astronaut Electronic Health Record users set a new speed record this week. The most patients seen in a single day and one week high totals occurred.

Office manager Jenny Salvador says: “We used to see half the patients in twice the time and effort before Astronaut. There is practically no friction in the system now. Our patient wait times are way, way down and our volume is way up.”

Ignacio Valdes, MD, MS writes “The Rocket Note feature put us over the top. We now see many more patients faster with less fatigue than ever before. It even records the billing information effortlessly.”

Rocket Note™Beta eliminates the approximately 11 step process of forwarding a clinical note for follow-up visits. This is a major efficiency improvement for busy clinicians. Along with Turbo Supervision™, Scheduling, and billing lists, Astro-CPRS is a very efficient, full-featured, power tool for modern clinical care.
